If there is Eustachian tube dysfunction from nose or sinus inflammation, fluid can remain in the middle ear which can lead to ear pain. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper assessment. In the meantime practice good breathing exercises, humidify your room and do steam inhalations.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Some people report side effects in conjunction withsingulair, but all can be attributed to other conditions those reporting them have.
That's just my two cents, but I think that's a decision you and your daughter's doctor should carefully consider.

Can people with COPD takeAllegra? I know Sudafed and others are not recommended for COPD patients.
Dr. Rosenwasser's Answer: People who have allergies as well as COPD can take antihistamines for their allergies. Sudafed is a decongestant and a different type of medicine.

I am really at the point where I am afraid to share new symptoms because I think people think I'm crazy although youcantake one look at me an know I'm sick due to the bright red face covered in rashes now 75% of the time.
I do not produce cortisol any longer but this could be due to the fact I have been on Steriods for many years off and on. The rashes began after I had my children almost 14 years ago. At first they were just a few times a year and were treated by my Derm. DR.

My allergist wants me to take the meds, but I want to wear my contacts from time to time, too. I've tried claritin and allegra, and both give the same reaction. Singulair does not, however, because it lack antihistamine. But my allergist want me on an antihistamine.
Any thoughts on this?

My daughter was diagnosed with allergies 07/01/2008 with allergies to mold, cats, dogs, pollen, trees, dust mites, etc. She started with Extendryl, now have added Singulair and today Zantac for welts. Her allergies manifest in her skin. 6 months ago we thought she was austic because she only said 50 words (she turned 3 this September) and now she is much better.
Go to a pediatric allergist.

allegra and singulair for allergies; flovent for asthma. I was on cymbalta for mild depression (that I don't have anymore) and stopped taking it in lieu of pamelor (for smoking cessation). The cymbalta withdrawal side effects were absolutely horrible but even knowing that I have started taking it again because without the cymbalta my spine feels like it is on fire (I Know - a whole different issue).

For the past 2 months, I've had a severe flare up which has been treated with a 6-day Prednisone patch, Allegra, and now 30 mg of Doxepin daily with no relief. In addition, I'm taking OTC Bendryl (200 mg) daily. With previous rare flare-ups, the Prednisone patch worked to clear up the hives and bring me back to 'normal'. The hives currently are all over my body, exaggerated by stress, with pain at times from my hands / feet swelling as well as the hives themselves.

Lauros,
I agree about the gun to the head thing too. I am in so much pain, and knowing that there are other does make a huge difference because the doctors amke you feel like you are complaining for the fun of it. I am close to losing my house. I wish I could work at even the smallest job. I was a nurse making a good living 8 months ago, now I am unemployed and in excruciating pain with a sinus and "ear" infection, despite being on IV antibiotics.

Also, a 24 hour antihistamine, Allegra is the best then Zyrtec then Clariton, take any of the 3 that youcan tolerate.
Your T cells are probably out of wack, your immune system... my story may help...
My allergist - immunologist has attempted to block the leukotrienes, the things that get to the skin that causes the burning sensation with Singulair 4 xs a day with Zyflo CR, I can't take the Zyflo CR, because these meds effect some peoples emotions incl. me apparently....

Also, a 24 hour antihistamine, Allegra is the best then Zyrtec then Clariton, take any of the 3 that youcan tolerate.
Also, stay out of the heat, bright light bulbs, cover your self with a light shirt and pants.... a hat but you do not need to get heated like sweating....
Also, taking, comfortably cool showers, not hot or cold, will help but wash with the CeraVe to rehydrate your skin....
Also, buy a water purifier for your tap water...

Lyrica helps with nerve pain, you have to increase dose in the first month, sometimes four-fold to reach a plateau, and it does have the side effect of making you off-balance and dizzy, so you can't drive for a couple hours after youtake it.
Now, as far as the dental shot being painful, this does happen sometimes.

It began in 1976 and re occurs every 5 to 6 years. I get a sore throat (not tonsils but when you swallow) I now go straight on antibiotics and use Bricanyl inhaler although it doesnt seem to have much effect except to cause alot of mucus coughed up from the lungs. It causes me to have spasm coughing and if I cannot control this to 3 or 4 coughs my windpipe closes over making it hard to breath in or out.

There are soo many other meds you could take that'll help (or atleast try).
I takeAllegra D at night because I snore a lot and it helps me breathe better. I'm also taking Singulair for other allergy/asthma related issues. I also have a habit of clearing my throat and the Singulair helped reduce that tremendously.

I have also been taking 5-HTP (50mg) for the insomina/anxiety, but don't go overboard with anything because I have read a few studies that it can backfire if youtake too much. If you have experienced a mood shift, check out a book called "The Mood Cure" by Julia Ross. And finally, I have also been trying out a sinus rinse by NeilMed (Walgreens), I want to believe that it is working.

I wish I could have helped youwith your answers. You are so young and have your whole life ahead of you. My vasomotor rhinitis started 6 yrs. ago when I was 45 yrs. old and after the flu. Take care, maybe in your lifetime they will find a cure, I don't think in my years that I have left that they will though. Sure makes for an unhappy life and I am sorry for you.

I found research that your body's bowel tolerance increases in proportion to how sick you are (i.e. youcantake more without getting getting the runs when you are sicker). I found that taking 8-12 grams per day made me feel a lot better on days I was feeling bad (that's 8000-12000 milligrams). That's a lot of pills, but I did it using the powdered crystals you can get at a nutrition store.
D) Pomegranate juice.

Alergia made me dry up too much but then it started making me feel odd, so I waited a few days and tried Zertic, that was the same reaction, so I again waited a few days and went back with Cleartin, same reaction. My PC doctor did give me the Singulair to try since I do have Asthma. He had me try Symbicort but that stuff really made me dry, and so nasty tasting. I can however use just a steroid inhaler along with the Nasonex nose spray, it seemed to work very well for me.

I do takeAllegra, Singulair and Asteline spray for allergies. I also have problems with my eyes getting red. I also use Pataday drops for my eyes. The mucus in my eyes and sinus area is very thick. Do you have any other suggestions as to what I can be doing to help the problem?

This causes more swelling and inflammation in your throat and nose, aggravating this self-perpetuating cycle.
Steps YouCanTake
During allergy seasons (trees during the spring, ragweed during the fall, molds all year round), there are a number of conservative step you can take to lessen your symptoms, to more formal medical treatments:
● Stay indoors during high pollen counts with air conditioning
● Wash your hair before going to bed if you’ve been outdoors during the day.

You found a gem - a physician who not only administers the medication but who was successful in obtaining insurance coverage for you. Would you share this information with me? I think the more people who obtain insurance coverage, the more likely it will be a standard protocol. Thanks for your help; I really appreciate it.

Do not crush, chew, or break tablet if it is the extended-release formulation.
As for doxycycline (Oracea), you should take it first thing in the morning with a full glass of water and on an empty stomach, which is at least 1 hour before meal or 2-3 hours after meal.
It is probably best to take doxycycline by itself, space one to two hours apart from your other medications. Watch for sun sensitivity while on doxycycline.

What can I take - (over counter) that might allow me to troubleshoot this? Like perhaps I cantake some acid reflux meds and see if things improve? What's recommended? How long does it take to show improvements?
Sorry for all the questions.... After 4 months of dealing with this unknown ailment (assumed to be asthma) - I'm frustrated and just want to get myself back to normal again.
Thankyou!

That being said, I am sure the prospect of having to take extra time off work and deal with the consequences is one you'd like to avoid. Make sure you make it clear to your employer that you have a serious mold allergy, and if needed, get a note from your doctor stating that working in an area with mold will affect your health.
There are some medications that you can use that may help curb the symptoms of your mold allery:
Nasal corticosteroids (spray) .

Environmental triggers for allergic reactions like changes in weather, temperature and water sources are difficult to avoid, but being aware can help youtake adequate precautions. If you are aware of the triggers please avoid them, asthat is the single most effective therapy.
Certain pain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve, Anaprox, others), also can worsen chronic hives.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Patanase is another form of an allergy medication that assists in managing allergic rhinitis, the symptoms, etc.
So, youcan see that there is a reason that youtake all of the medication that you do. Especially for sinus concerns. I know it stinks to have to take so much medication...I feel the same way...but its much easier, and healthier, than having to constantly deal with sinus infections and worse.
Best of luck!

I take a lot of medication. Singulair, Advair, Flonase, and Allegra. When I get a sinus headache I also takeAllegra D. I started getting allergy shots too. Im allergic to mold too. Have someone clean it or remove it if possible (within your financial means).Wear a mask when you have to be around it. All of this is extreme and a lot of work. I am a mother of two, my sweetheart works 7 days a week, I don't have much help either.
